Interesting book ( ) One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. Kübler-Ross first explored the now-famous five stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Through sample interviews and conversations, she gives the reader a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, and the patient's family, bringing hope to all who are involved. Selected Reading Questionnaire. When I took a death and dying class in college, my professor often quoted from this book. It is interesting to finally read it now during this pandemic. The bulk of this book consists of interviews with patients who know they will die soon and their families. These conversations are insightful and heartwarming. Expanding our views on death will help us cope when we and/or our loved ones are facing the end, and Kubler-Ross's work has certainly done that for me. How do you look someone in the eye and tell them they are dying? Sure, every single one of us is dying by increments every single day. Some of us will die tomorrow, without warning. No fanfare. But, how do you tell someone they will die in a month? In a week? Days? On Death and Dying is exactly that, a chance to talk to terminally ill patients; to have a candid talk about what it means to moving towards death sooner rather than later. Kubler-Ross and her students interviewed over 200 patients towards this end. I think it is safe to safe we know what emerged from this seminal work: Stage One: Denial and Isolation Stage Two: Anger - the "Why Me?" stage. Stage Three: Bargaining - not a lot to say about this stage except to say it is very childlike in believing you can strike a deal with a higher power to avoid death. Stage Four: Depression (the stage I think I would live within the longest). Stage Five: Acceptance. This is the most difficult of all the stages to reach. Even after achieving acceptance, it is easy for the patient to revert back to an earlier stage such as anger or denial. Stage five is also difficult for the patient's loved ones. How many families see a patient's acceptance as resignation or a loss of will to live? One must remember there are defense mechanisms as well as coping mechanisms at play. My biggest takeaway from reading On Death and Dying is how the more training and experience a physician had, the less ready he or she was to become involved in Kubler-Ross's interviews. It is as if they lost the ability to see the patient as a human with a right to know their terminal future. We need to bring compassion back at every level of care. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Negar la muerte como hecho individual o social (con mecanismos deB! tipo "ya me preocupare cuando sea necesario") tiene una importante consecuencia: la falta de preparacion psicologica cuando se presenta el trance; especialmente en el paciente, pero tambien entre los allegados o el equipo que le atiende.Sobre la muerte y los moribundos cubre esta carencia. A traves de la identificacion y comprension de los sentimientos -ira, negacion, aceptacion...- de los moribundos, esta obra muestra como controlar dichas emociones y como transformar las actitudes para aliviar el sufrimiento psicologico. Por ello, esta obra es no solo indispensable para profesionales de la sanidad y psicologos, sino tambien para todas las personas que deseen abordar su futuro con responsabilidad.
